Bulk page adds, initial population automation

[Kyle Manuel <ky...@mbrostech.com>]

I setup JSPWiki to keep track of our customer procedures. Right now, we have some 900 reports. Different customers receive different reports at different times. Each report has a type (category). Some are custom and specific to a single customer. Some of this information is stored in a database, but the custom reports, frequency, recipients, and delivery method (fax, email, print) aren't. Some of it is in a shared spreadsheet, some as outlook reminders, some paper notes, etc. That's the reason for the wiki. There's no unification. A number of personnel changes recently left us scrambling to find it all. 

I'd like to do a bulk add of the report and customer pages I can get from the database and spreadsheet. I write in Java and JSP for our intranet site and can create any format I need. How might I do this?

Is there a way to have a page for each report type (category) without having to manually edit the pages; it would update with each report page that links back to the parent type page? Sorting on this page (report #, title)?

I need to somehow automate the bulk import and initial population with all the linking. 

Thanks,

Are you using the filesystem to store your pages?  We use files for our HR 
info and sometimes I write out pages directly in the wiki format.  I guess 
you could also insert them into a DB from the back-end.

Is this what you are asking about?
